“At first I was hesitant about online training. Now, I can’t tell you how many teachers THANKED ME. I provided 260 hours of training to over 89 teachers and it only took me 15 minutes to set it all up. Plus the system makes accountability easy. Quality PD, a huge time saver, and happy teachers… you can’t get much better than that.”

Gina Peddy, GT Coordinator, Southlake Carroll ISD

Personally, I thought this type of training was great! I could watch it at my own pace, with allowed me time to go back & rewatch sections that I found valuable to me & my classes. This also allowed me time to take notes, I found myself going back & rewatching several individual sections to hear the info again. I was able to pause, so when my own children needed me I could stop, help get my children ready for bed & then resume in an hour or so. I really like that it’s a 1 hour course. It’s not too much to wrap your brain around. I truly hope these online courses will be available in the future!!
